Arachne Lost
This painting depicts the story of Arachne who bragged that she could weave better than the gods. Not one to appreciate such confidence, Athena challenged Arachne to a weaving contest in which the winner got to keep her life. Of course, Arachne lost to the Athena, but the goddess felt pity on her and turned her into the first spider instead of killing her. Arachne's name in greek means "spider" and is from this story that we get the word Arachnophobia.

Thank you for this great painting together with the story behind arachnophobia. Some years ago I would've had problems looking at your painting, because of my fear of spiders. But after dreaming a hilarious dream about a clownish spider, making everybody scared but me, my arachnophobia got better. So now I'm totally able to enjoy your work. Thank you, again!
So happy you got something out of the webinar. Feel free to email any questions that you might have.
Yes, spiders are still scary to me (but not as scary as monkeys)
